    Hi thepetrolist.
    Thanks very much indeed for your prompt reply.It is great news to hear that you actually have the same motor,except this one here in New Zealand
    is a petrol only one……not kerosene.
    It certainly looks the same and thank you for the excellent photos!!!!. My friend is wondering what petrol/oil ratio to use. I think 24 to 1 would be a safe bet. What are thoughts?
    Do you have a hand book, and if so, would you be able provide specifications, such as points gap and spark plus info?

    While looking at your website I noticed that you have a 1970s 5hp Tohatsu Sea Swallow. Believe it or not ,my neighbour has just had one given to him and has managed to get running nicely. He has the owners handbook for it and I have just spoken to him and he would be delighted to send you a copy if you would like one.

    Thanks again for your very helpful reply and thanks to you other AOMCI members for all your help to other outboard enthusiasts round the world!!!
    Best wishes
